Hi Sakthi,
That depends on the requirement of your testing.I would recommend you Min 4GB RAM (If it includes RAC testing) too.

Laptop configuration for OBI EE.

Hi,
I've an Intel core i5 laptop with 4gb ram (2.85 gb usable) and windows 7 professional 32 bit os. It's got hard disk failure so I need to get it repaired.
With regards to OBI EE I am happy with the current config. The only major issue that I am facing is OBI EE takes 15 to 20 minutes to start up. So if I want to try out something quickly I either postpone it till I get more interesting topics or due to time constraint I ignore it. And I hate it.
If I upgrade the os to 64 bit and add more ram, along with fixing the laptop's hd issue, will I get overall improved OBI EE 64 bit software performance esp., OBI EE service start up time? Currently I have OBI EE 11.1.1.7.0 32 bit. (Pls note I'm not referring to query performance.)
Any suggestions? I hope the rpd and we catalogs will be fine without any issues once I have 64 bit software installed?
Regards,
Manoj.

Manoj,
However, QuickStart dashboard (SampleApp Lite) is relatively faster and SQL Developer tool remains instantly usable
As you mentioned above SQL Developer,So I mean to say uninstall and insall sql developer
The size of the RPD and webcatalog may affect start up times of the services. It is recommended to clean up the RPD and webcatalog to remove redundant objects.
Thanks,

Is there any best practice for printer configuration for test environment?

My Oracle ebs test environment has a scheduled refresh period where it will be refreshed with production test data and configuration time to time for BA, Dev to work on their enhancement.
However, all the printer configurations are still pointing to production ones after refreshed, which means whenever there is a testing on-going, the doc / label / invoices will be printed to production printer.
May I know if there is a way to globally change all the printer setup for the test environment, so that nothing will be directly to production?... Please assist.
(currently, the only way is to change one by one and only if you are aware of it...)
In case your organization has any other strategy on this matter, pls share also... Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.If you do not want to use same printers then you have to it to point to the (TEST/BA Printers) after you are done with Rapid Clone. Any new printers need to be added manually (just the same way you defined you PROD printers) -- Rapid Clone Documentation Resources For Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
If you want to edit the configuration, you could use FNDLOAD to download printers definition from the source instance, update the ldt file and use FNDLOAD to upload printers definitions.

How to change parsing schema for using application in test environment?

Hi,
I set up a test environment, i.e. an other Oracle schema with identical tables, views etc. to the productive environment. I wanted to duplicate the APEX application so that there will be a test version using the test Oracle schema and productive version using the productive oracle schema.
Can some one please give me some tip how to do this? As far as I see i could change the parsing schema in the APEX Application install SQL in the following ways:
1. While exportin the application with APEX
2. In the result install f...sql file using search-replace
3. While importing the APEX application via APEX Development GUI.
I would prefere 1. or 3. but in both cases when I would like to change the schema name, the drop dowl list does not contain the test Oracle schema name. Do I have to grant something to the APEX worksspace schema for the test schema name to show up in the drop dowl list?
Tamás

On that screen,
- click Create
- select "Existing" Schema, click Next
- select the Workspace, click Next
- select the Schema, click Next
- click Add Schema
And now you'll end up with two schema's attached for the same Workspace.

Best Practice - Hardware requirements for exchange test environment

Hi Experts,
I'm new to exchange and I want to have a test environment for learning, testing ,batches and updates.
In our environment we have co-existence 2010 and 2013 and I need to have a close scenario on my test environment.
I was thinking of having an isolated (not domain joined) high end workstation laptop with (quad core i7, 32GB RAM, 1T SSD) to implement the environment on it, but the management refused and replied "do it on one of the free servers within the live production
environment at the Data Center"... !
I'm afraid of doing so not to corrupt the production environment with any mistake by my configuration "I'm not that exchange expert who could revert back if something wrong happened".
Is there a documented Microsoft recommendation on how to do it and where to do so to be able to send it to them ??
OR/ Could someone help with the best practice on where to have my test environment and how to set it up??
Many Thanks
Mohamed Ibrahim

I think this may be useful:
It's their official test lab set up guide.

Also, your spec should be fine as long as you run the VMs within their means.

Best practice for the test environment & DBA plan Activities Documents

Dears,,
In our company, we made sizing for hardware.
we have Three environments ( Test/Development , Training , Production ).
But, the test environment servers less than Production environment servers.
My question is:
How to make the best practice for the test environment?
( Is there any recommendations from Oracle related to this , any PDF files help me ............ )
Also please , Can I have a detail document regarding the DBA plan activities?
I appreciate your help and advise
Thanks

Follow your build document for the same steps you used to build production.
You should know where all your code is. You can use the deployment manager to export your configurations. Export customized files from MDS. Just follow the process again, and you will have a clean instance not containing production data.
It only takes a lot of time if your client is lacking documentation or if you re not familiar with all the parts of the environment. What's 2-3 hours compared to all the issues you will run into if you copy databases or import/export schemas?

Environment configuration for Hot Backups

Hi all,
1. I am trying to create a hot backup tool based on the read-only Environment strategy ([discussed in a previous thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3674008#3674008] ).
Now, leaving aside the EnvironmentConfig.setReadOnly(true), I have found quite a few possible other configuration options in the EnvironmentParams class and I'm wondering if there are some that I should be using.
Here are a couple of examples:
- ENV_RECOVERY
- ENV_RUN_INCOMPRESSOR
- ENV_RUN_CHECKPOINTER
- ENV_RUN_CLEANER
Would it make sense to configure any of these?
2. After creating a hot backup I have tried to test its state. Basically, the approach was quite simple:
- open a read-only env on the backup
- try to access the databases in the env
My idea is that if the above 2 ops are succeeding then there is a very good chance that the backup is correct.
Now, while playing with the above configuration options I have noticed that if I'm setting ENV_RECOVERY to false in this test environment, then any attempt to access the databases within results in a DatabaseNotFoundException.
Can someone help me understand what is happening? (basically, I cannot make a connection between recovery and access to the DBs in the environment)
Many thanks in advance,
./alex
PS: I've forgot to mention that I'm running a quite old version: 2.1.30
Edited by: Alex Popescu on Aug 13, 2009 5:50 AM

ENV_RECOVERY - suppresses running recovery at Environment creation. Internal parameter.
ENV_RUN_INCOMPRESSOR, ENV_RUN_CHECKPOINTER, ENV_RUN_CLEANER - disable the INCompressor, Checkpointer, and Cleaner Daemon threads.
You should not need to adjust any of these parameters for your DbBackup utility. In fact, ENV_RECOVERY is an "internal use only" parameter.
PS: I've forgot to mention that I'm running a quite old version: 2.1.30
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but as my colleague Mark Hayes stressed in a previous post, you really need to upgrade from 2.1.30 to 3.3.latest. It is highly probable that you will eventually run into bugs with 2.x and we are unlikely to (1) be willing to diagnose them, and (2) fix them. As Mark pointed out, 2.1 is 3.5 years old and the product has had a lot of improvements in that time. We are happy to answer questions on this forum relating to the latest major release, but dealing with old and crusty code is certainly going to be well below our allowable priority level.

How to use different configurations for KDE Plasma?

I typically use my laptop in two ways: single monitor and dual monitor. I like to have in the two cases two different sets of widgets and plasmoids, so I wonder if it's possible to have multiple configurations for Plasma and load the desired one when needed. I searched around for a solutio but didn't find anything.
Right now, I'm using a rather awkward method: I have two sets of Plasma configuration files for single and dual monitor setup (ie., plasma-desktop-appletsrc-single and plasma-desktop-appletsrc-dual) and two startx scripts which, before starting KDE, copy the single or dual monitor configuration on the standard Plasma config file (cp $HOME/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc-dual $HOME/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc). I'm sure there are better ways to have a dynamical Plasma configuration, since my zero-order solution has many drawbacks, for example I loose the modifications I make on my desktop (since Plasma saves them on plasma-desktop-appletsrc which is overwritten at next startup).
Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

For such a purpose KDE Plasma provides Activities. Here you can find more about that:
http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma#Activities
There is also a nice plasmoid for easy Activity managing:

Solaris 10 x86 X configuration for Dell D800 laptop

I installed solaris 10 on my Dell Latitude D800 laptop (it is listed on the BigAdmin HCL for Solaris 10). After installation resolution was low (probably 640x480). I searched web and found some info
on web for a Linux configuration and used that as
guideline to setup xorg.conf (using xorgconfig utility).
I used following setting :
Protocol ExplorerPS/2
Device /dev/kdmouse
Video 1024x768 @ 70 Hz
HorizSync 31.5-57.0
VertRefresh 50-70
With this setting, initial login screen doesn't fit the
display. If I checkin, server starts and display is OK,
but mouse control is erratic (can't properly place/move around mouse). The mouse suddenly
wraps around from middle of the screen.
I tried enabling/disabling emulate3 button,
virtual display, depth and limited max resolution to
1024x768 . None of this helps, very difficult to
start a window even hard to exit out X windows,
since mouse doesn't behave properly.
I also have a USB mouse (logitech optical mosue,
with a wheel : part no M-BJ58). USB mouse support
might already be there but not sure what the
protocol/device would be.
Does anyone have a sample xorg.conf file for
Dell D800 running Solaris 10 ? Any idea what I need
to do ?

When logging in, log in to command line, su to root, then run /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig and answer the questions about your hardware.This will make an xorg.conf file and save it to /etc/X11.Try using a mouse setting of auto, I had to do this as IMPS/2 just sent my mouse haywire.

Concurrent Users for BODS designer in TEST environment

All,
May I know the best practices for BODS testing ? Would you please share any weblinks for BODS/ETL testing related information ?
We wanted to access the designer/master/local repository by multi testers in TEST environment. What is typical practice ?
Does the tester need access to deisgner ? if so, what are main points to be checked/tested in a job design/execution in DS designer?
Thanks & Regards.

Hello
I don't think your testers should have access to the Designer in the test environment. Why? Because when you execute jobs in production it won't be via the Designer, so if you execute tests that way it's not a true test. The execution mechanism (typically the built in scheduler) should be used in the test environments.
Multiple testers might require a separate local reposity and data areas, however the job server can be shared for functional testing, but not for performance testing.
Basic good practice for an organisation -
Project manager scopes a release.
Developers code in the development enviornment.
A lead developer packages code (ATL, DDL, etc.) for release candidates.
Release team (or repsonsible lead developer) promotes code to QA
Tests performed in QA
Release team promotes code to production.
Notes -
Developers should only have access to the development environment (maybe readonly in QA to aid debugging)
Testers should only have access to QA
Operations should only have access to production.
It takes a bit of work to get your organisation working in this way, but its worth it.

SAP Licensing for a Test Environment

One of our clients has created a test environment physically seperate from the Production environment (That is on two seperate machines). All their purchased SAP B1 licenses are being used in the production system. If you select additional licenses, they are only temporary and expire in 14 days from creation.
How do you get valid licenses into the Test Environment that will always be active without having to reduce the licenses that are allocated to the Production system?

Thank you all for your helpful answers.
I understand about creating a test database in the Production system and it use of the same License Manager
However this does not work if you are trying to test patches or major release upgrades because once you apply the upgrade / patch to the test database in the production environment the code base is now changed and the production database would then be updated.
In order to isolate the test of upgrades, patch levels, major functionality etc., you need to build a separate environment on different hardware to do the testing. That is what we have done.
Since the license server is not shared the separate test environment needs to have a license file that reflects its hardware key.
When I go to create that license file and I specify "Test System" for the system, the license file is only created with temporary licenses which inactivate in 14 days.
I need to know if there is a way to create the license file without the licenses being inactivated and without reducing the number of licenses available to the Production System.

Suggestion for Iridium I/O third party tool use in production environment. Is Good or bad to use?

Hello Everyone,
we are planing to use Iridium I/O third party tool in one of our critical production environment to improve the performance.
but i want to know is it recommended for such type of critical servers?.
if i use this tool find any performance improvement.

Hi Baraiya,
Iridium I/O is certified by Microsoft. It can help to fix SQL Server performance instead of just pointing out performance problems . Benefits of using Iridium include the following aspects. Refer to:
Iridium I/O for SQL Server.
•Faster transactions
•Faster batch jobs
•Reduced blocking and deadlocking
•Faster sorting in tempdb
•Speeds up queries from 3rd Party apps that can't be tuned
•Speeds up queries that are already "fully tuned"
•Speeds up the 95% of queries that the DBA never has time to tune
In addition, there will be no impact on the SQL databases when Iridium is removed. Personally, I recommend you install the Iridium I/O in a test environment, and check if it meets your requirement, then use it in the production server.
For more details , you can also review this blog:
SQL SERVER – Iridium I/O – SQL Server Deduplication that Shrinks Databases and Improves Performance.

Installing second domain for forms testing environment?

Hi!
I've a physical windows server for running my forms applications (11.1). On installing fusion middleware suite I created a domain with the assistant. Further more another assistent configured my forms server into this domain.
The problem is that I've no forms testing environment. So the idea was to create another domain for testing and setup a second forms server in this new testing domain. The pysical machine has enough power to server both domains.
Is this a supported configuration and can it be done with the assistants?
Thanks
Markus

I wouldn't say that the additional administration effort is much or bad. I also don't agree 100% that the dev instance don't influence the prod instance when both are hosted on the same server.
When hosting both instances on one server and one oracle home you will always be on the same patchset on the OS and Oracle side.
Consider you are encountering a bug in forms when developing a new feature which is fixed in a one-off patch. To test this one-off patch in dev you most certainly will have to take down the production instance too as both of them will access the same Oracle Home and Middleware Home. Same thing is for OS patches. If you are seperating dev and prod instances on different machines you have the possibility to test your configurations proper on your test machine without influencing production.
This will guarantee you that you have always a tested environment in production.
Think about scalability: developers tend to make boo-boos while developing new things. One forms session <can> take down a whole machine (I have seen that and I have done that - on a development machine). If this happens on a development machine you have 10 angry developers which can be calmed down with a sixpack beer; 100+ people plus the managment which should be working with the software you developed are not tranquilized so easy when they cannot work for 20 minutes because of a infinite loop in development ;).
I agree that you might have additional license costs; but if memory serves Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Linux have no additional license costs which breaks down the costs to OFMW 11g. And I am not too sure if you have to pay (the full price) for development instances (I am a developer, not a sales person). But this is best discussed with your oracle sales representative.
Again, this is just my opinion; maybe someone else can give you more input.
cheers
